Hi Mike and all other PIC experts, thank you for your mail, I forgot to say in my mail that I made sure to change the baud rate generation constants, I'm using 9600 bps and BRGH=1. I replaced the constant 103 with 129 which should give the same error of +0.16%. Any other suggestion ? thanks chaipi On Thu, 11 Apr 1996 mriendeau@vicr.com wrote: > Chaipi Wijnbergen wrote, > > >I am developing a small project using the PIC 16C74 and recently > >needed to change the Crystal from 16MHz to 20MHz.
